I have a windows application with DataGridView as data presentation. Every 2 minutes, the grid will be refreshed with new data. In order to keep the scroll bar in sync with the new data added, I have to reset its ScrollBars:
dbv.Rows.Clear(); // clear rows
SCrollBars sc = dbv.ScrollBars;
dbv.ScrollBars = ScrollBars.None;
// continue to populate rows such as dbv.Rows.Add(obj);
dbv.ScrollBars = sc; // restore the scroll bar setting back
With above codes, the scroll bar reappears fine after data refresh. The problem is that the application requires to set certain cell as selected after the refresh:
dbv.CurrentCell = dbv[0, selectedRowIndex];
With above code, the cell is selected; however, the scroll bar's position does not reflect the position of the selected cell's row position. When I try to move the scroll bar after the refresh, the grid will jump to the first row.
It seems that the scroll bar position is set back to 0 after the reset. The code to set grid's CurrentCell does not cause the scroll bar to reposition to the correct place. There is no property or method to get or set scroll bar's value in DataGriadView, as far as I know.
I also tried to set the selected row to the top:
dbv.CurrentCell = dbv[0, selectedRowIndex];
dbv.FirstDisplayedScrollingRowIndex = selectedRowIndex;
The row will be set to the top, but the scroll bar's position is still out of sync. Not sure if there is any way to make scroll bar's position in sync with the selected row which is set in code?
